Organizational
Architecture Engineering is unlike any other BPR that you may have ever
experienced. It involves the preparedness of all staff members to be
critically aware of the Business of the Organization, how it structures
itself and how these structures will then be able to underpin the
anticipated business outcomes. The primary focus is on the Business, the
secondary on the structures and underpinning architectures to make ideals
realistic.
The How-To and how the results stack up to
the anticipated outcomes are elements of a quality feedback loop, that is
engineered to re-enforce itself to better outcomes. All elements of the
What-How-Where-Who-When-Why are focused towards the converging point: The
Desired Outcome. (see also at http://zifa.com).
Key Benefits
 | Sound Structured Outcomes |
| Knowledge Management inherently built in. |
| Re-Usability of Organizational Modules. |
Capabilities
- Capability 1
- Key thoughts here are the principles of Kaplan & Norton,
who pioneered structures through the stipulation of an outcome which is
then implemented using the outcome statement as the goal. Its value lies
in the inherent feedback that aims to measure the output (that which is
produced) and determines how well the output does what the outcome
wanted to do. Organisational Architecture Frameworks such as John
Zachman's Enterprice Architecture Framework provide an up-scaleable
structural guide for mid-size enterprise. How to do that? Why not ask us.
- Capability 2
- Kaplan & Norton
build into their model a component that is all-to-often overlooked:
Organizational Knowledge. This invisible asset is largely comprised of
wisdom that is in the heads of some key people. Do you know which ones?
What are you going to do if they leave your organization, taking their
knowledge with them? Are your prepared? How does one prepare?
- Capability 3
- Is your organization top heavy? How much
operational deadwood can you carry? Is operational deadwood dead wood?
You have organizational structure in place, so - how much is re-usable?
Where does one start?
